Oh it was simple. I noticed how the numbers could be split into bunches of three, where all numbers were below 256, bytes that is. So I just took every byte manually using an online converter and coverted it into hex decimals and saved it as a binary file.

Or am I simply on the wrong track and should I treat this as numbers, not as bytes? I'm completely lost in how to decode this piece of information, esspecially now knowing the key is encoded too, I have little clue.

Can anyone PM me an example showcasing a similar decryption method without spoiling too much? Is this a Unencrypted text = Encrypted text - Key?

How can there be a key that you don't need? If the message in encrypted, then from what I've read, you need the key to figure it out (so says Wikipedia). Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't need the key to decipher the text, then the encryption is pretty pointless.

For the nth time, if someone wants to have mercy on the unenlightened, drop me PM. And now, back to Google. ;-)

Wow, I just wasted my entire afternoon and feel like i have gotten no where. I wrote out the numbers and I've converted them every possible way, from DEC to HEX, Binary, ASCII; then i was converting them with ROT47 and I even read that whole wiki write up on the number station; and I'm just now frustrated. If anyone here could give me a really big hint or just blatantly tell me how to figure this out, It'd be very much appreciated.

I must admit, this puzzle has been fascinating; I've learnt how to count in Polish and discovered a whole new world regarding the existence of the (somewhat creepy) Number Stations which I knew nothing about before. And, of course, there's the message itself. Great stuff.

Kudos to Adam, and anyone else that helped devise this minor mystery. It really enhances the MINERVA atmosphere...

Hey Lewk. Stop reading when you don't need more spoilers. A telephone number is dialed in the sound file. Try and figure out what that is. It's written on the first page in this thread. ;-). Let's just say it's a very primively encoded text string that gives away what you need.

That's fantastic. I wrote it out by hand as i listened to the message (as it was evident that i wrote some numbers down wrong), and it was rather exciting. I never knew something so dull to be so exhilarating.

So how do we discuss what the message means without spoiling it for everyone?
